11. Learning outcomes of the course unit
Knowledge component
Aims
Class 1

anatomy and morphology of deciduous and
immature permanent dentition
To gain knowledge on the caries classification
systems and atraumatic techniques of caries
treatment in primary dentition
Objectives
Student is able to:

contraindication to the fissure sealing and to
minimal invasive treatment of caries in
children





varnish and saturation with AgNO3 of carious
lesions in primary anterior teeth


Class 6
To understand the basic concepts related to
restoration of permanent anterior teeth after
mechanical trauma – crown fracture class II
by Elliss


list indications and contraindication to
the fissure sealing

the occlusal surface of molars and
methods of sealant application
give the indications and explain the
principles of minimal cavity preparation
techniques PRR (Preventive Resin
Restoration)
explain differences between Black’s
type and minimal cavity preparation
technique
list the measures and modes of
remineralization

crown fractures in permanent anterior
permanent teeth- class II by Ellis
Skills component
Aims
To develop the therapeutic skills concerning
using of prophylactic methods and treatment
of carious decay in primary and permanent
teeth
To develop practical skills for reconstruction of
the permanent incisors after traumatic injuries
Objectives
Students are able to:




perform the fissure sealing in first
permanent molar
apply fluoride varnish
apply the Preventive Resin Restoration
method in suitable case
prepare Class I and Class II cavity in


molar tooth
chose the most adequate technique
and restore caries in anterior primary
teeth
perform crown reconstruction of upper
incisors after injury
Attitudes and transferrable skills
Aims
To develop the awareness of:
 the necessity of the development of
manual skills in relation to caries
treatment in primary and secondary
dentition in children
 the role of healthy milk dentition in
the normal development of
stomatognathic organ, as well as
proper attitude for understanding of
the need for limited removal of hard
tissues during dental treatment
Objectives
To develop:
 the awareness of the importance of
application of appropriate preventive
and treatment methods in primary
teeth
 the awareness of the role of
application of minimally invasive cavity
preparation techniques in immature
permanent teeth whenever possible
